All be known the curing of the whole bag of tricks reactant mixture in contact lens production, comprise rotated mold filing and static casting.The rotated mold filing method is referring to United States Patent (USP) 3,408, and 429 and 3,660,545, static casting method is referring to United States Patent (USP) 4,113, and 224 and 4,197,266.The method for optimizing that preparation comprises the contact lens of polymer of the present invention is by silicon hydrogel is directly molded, this method economy, and can the accurate net shape of controlling the aquation eyeglass.For this method, reactant mixture is placed final silicon hydrogel with hope, be in the mould of water-swellable polymer shape, and make reactant mixture be subjected to the condition that can make monomer polymerization, thereby make the polymer/diluent mixture of the shape of product that is final hope.Then, with solvent to this polymer/diluent mixture handle with remove diluent and final water consumption substitution it, obtain having the silicon hydrogel of final size and shape, the size and dimension of the polymer of its size and dimension and original molded/diluent goods is quite similar.This method can be used for making contact lens, further describes referring to United States Patent (USP) 4,495,313; 4,680,336; 4,889,664; With 5,039,459, it is hereby incorporated by.
Solidify
Another feature of the present invention is that a kind of curing silicone hydrogel formulation that is used for is to provide the method for enhanced wettability.Have now found that the gelling time of silicon hydrogel can be used for wettable Ophthalmoligic instrument is being provided, particularly select condition of cure during contact lens.Gelling time is the formation crosslinking polymer network, causes the viscosity of solidified reactant mixture to approach infinity and make reactant mixture become the aneroid time.Gel point is present under the concrete conversion ratio, and is irrelevant with reaction condition, therefore can be as the sign of reaction rate.Have now found that for given reactant mixture, gelling time can be used for determining to give the condition of cure of desirable wettability.Therefore, in the method for the invention, reactant mixture is in certain gelling time point or above curing, this gelling time makes resulting device have improved wettability when using under not carrying out hydrophilic coating or surface-treated situation, perhaps more preferably sufficient wettability (" minimum gelling time ").Preferably, improved wettability is meant with the prescription that does not have high molecular polymer and compares that the dynamic contact angle that advances reduces at least 10%.Preferably long gelling time is because they can provide the processing elasticity of improved wettability and increase.
For different silicon hydrogel prescriptions, gelling time will change.Condition of cure also influences gelling time.For example, the concentration of cross-linking agent will impact gelling time, increases crosslinker concentration and can reduce gelling time.Increase radiant intensity (for photopolymerization) or temperature (for thermal polymerization), efficiency of initiation (perhaps by selecting more effective initiator or irradiation bomb, perhaps the initiator of absorbed radiation more effectively in selected irradiation range) and also will reduce gelling time.Temperature and diluent type and concentration also can influence gelling time in the intelligible mode of those skilled in the art.
Minimum gelling time can be by selecting given prescription, change a factor in the middle of the above-mentioned factor and measure gelling time and contact angle being determined.Minimum gelling time is meant and is higher than the gained eyeglass by the point of the time point of general moistening.Below minimum gelling time, eyeglass is generally not wettable.For " generally wettable " contact lens, be meant that the dynamic contact angle that advances is lower than about 70 degree, preferably be lower than the eyeglasses of about 60 degree, perhaps tear film splitting time equals or exceeds ACUVUEThe contact lens of eyeglass.Therefore, it will be understood to those of skill in the art that the statistics factor of considering that test changes, may be a scope at the minimum gel point of this definition.
In certain embodiments, minimum gelling time was at least about 30 seconds when using radiation of visible light, was preferably greater than about 35 seconds, had been considered to favourable more preferably greater than about 40 seconds.
Curing can be used heating, ionization or actinic radiation, for example electron beam, X ray, ultraviolet or visible light, and promptly wave-length coverage is carried out for the electromagnetic radiation or the corpuscular radiation of about 800 nanometers of about 150-.Preferred radiation source comprises that wavelength is the ultraviolet or the visible light of about 700 nanometers of about 250-.Suitable radiation source comprises uviol lamp, fluorescent lamp, electric filament lamp, mercury lamp and daylight.Comprise that in reactant mixture ultraviolet absorption compound (for example, as ultraviolet blocking-up or light-sensitive material in) the embodiment, solidifies and carries out (such as being undertaken by visible light or heating) by the mode that is different from ultraviolet radiation.In preferred embodiments, radiation source is selected from UVA (about 400 nanometers of about 315-), UVB (about 315 nanometers of about 280-) or visible light (about 450 nanometers of about 400-).In a further preferred embodiment, reactant mixture comprises ultraviolet absorption compound, and it uses visible-light curing.In many embodiments, under low-intensity, solidify so that the gelling time of wishing minimum will be useful.Term used herein " low-intensity " meaning refers to that intensity is at about 0.1mW/cm2-Yue 6mW/cm2Between, preferably at about 1mW/cm2-3mW/cm2Between.Hardening time is long, is generally approximately more than 1 minute, and about 60 minutes of preferably about 1-was more preferably about 1-about 30 minutes.This low-intensity curing slowly provides the minimum gelling time of hope and a kind of method that preparation demonstrates the Ophthalmoligic instrument of good wettability.
Initiator concentration also influences gelling time.Therefore, in certain embodiments, preferably have low relatively light-initiated dosage, be generally 1% or still less, preferred 0.5% or still less.
Temperature no less important during reaction mixture cured.When temperature is increased to when being higher than ambient temperature, the optical haze degree of resulting polymers reduces.The temperature that effectively reduces the optical haze degree comprises the optical haze degree that makes the gained eyeglass and compare reduction at least about 20% temperature with the eyeglass of same combination preparation under 25 ℃.Therefore, suitable solidification temperature comprises that greater than about 25 ℃ temperature preferred temperature is about 25 ℃-70 ℃, more preferably from about 40 ℃-70 ℃.The accurate setting of condition of cure (temperature, intensity and time) will depend on selected lens materials component and, according to instruction of the present invention, within those of ordinary skills' cognitive range.Curing can be carried out in one or more curing area.
Condition of cure must be enough to form polymer network by reactant mixture.The resulting polymers network is by the diluent swelling and have the die cavity form.
